So wtf? Manning worked out YESTERDAY for the 9ers, and nobody reported it until TODAY?!?!

Yep. It's over.

This is how I felt watching the Drive. Do not count Elway out yet. In the meantime, I am leaving work on the east coast now. Finding a bar within crawling distance of my house and will enter a drunken hybernation until this whole thing is settled with Manning signed to take us to the promise land.

And what if next week, when Peyton is out in California, looking at the Niner's facilities, Paul Allen and Pete Carroll fly down there with bags of money?

This has gone on far enough. Elway's enough of a businessman to know when a deal is going south. Tell Peyton, sign or we're out.

There has been too much violence, too much pain. None here are without sin. I am gravely disappointed. Again you have made me unleash my dogs of war.
Look at what remains of your gallant scouts. Why? Because you're selfish! You hoard your gasoline.

Now, my prisoners say you plan to take your gasoline out of the Wasteland. You sent them out this morning to find a vehicle. A rig big enough to haul that fat tank of gas. What a puny plan!

Look around you. This is the Valley of Death. See! Nothing can escape! The Humungus rules the Wasteland!

But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me the pump ,the oil ,the gasoline ,and the whole compound, and I'll spare your lives.

Just walk away. I will give you safe passage in the Wasteland. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.
